Ordered House
The walls are bare
The floors are free of debris
The laundry is put away
The beds are perfectly quaffed
...ready for habitation
Clothes are scattered 'round
Dirty dishes in the sink
Dusty trophies on the shelf
Toys line the hallway
...ready for battle ahead
The doors are locked
The lights are on
The water runs at will
The internet entertains
...ready for usage
The children have gathered
The adults are adulting
The tension pulls at choice
The cables are strong and firm
...ready for communication
The years pass quickly
The aged wonder in pain
The children run to repair
The earth groans under the weight
...ready for transition
RESTORATION REVEALS
The ORDERED HOUSE
